Therefore an excellent performance is required.

coach Lijnders has respect for Feyenoord and his home game atmosphere. "I know the stadium and the unique atmosphere there. It will be a challenge for us to enforce our playing style. Feyenoord has a solid game structure and plays with high pressure. But we will do our best to pass in this exciting match," he said before the important game.

The upcoming challenges in the Champions League put the team to the test. It remains to be seen whether Salzburg will find its turn.
